Strange that I already have it in my hands

[Gorwingel]

I got mine after school yesterday at Target. So I don't have any exciting stories, but I am very glad to have it. I just can't believe that I already have all three of the theatricals though. Last night I sat with all three of them and looked at them, and compaired them, and went through mixed emotions. I can't believe I have all three, and I am excited about it, but I am still kind of sad. It just seems too soon.

I am going to hopefully watch all three this weekend though. If I have enough time. I have been very, very busy with schoolwork.

Woohoo! I got mine today! But I could only watch half of it before my dad turned it off. Curse you, dratted dad! I'd just got to Sam vs Shelob!

Lucky, lucky people...I'm waiting for the Extended...

I am too. I bought the theatrical primarily because I wanted the second disc stuff. Since it is different from the EE.

I had to go ahead & get the theatrical, because I don't think I could last until Nov. without RotK. Of course, I could just rent it, but I'm sure the rent money would end up exceeding the cost of the DVD itself . Ah, that's good to know that the documentary on the DVD is different from the stuff on the EE, I hadn't been 100% sure on that.

I know my rental costs would have exceeded the price of the DVD too. That was the other reason I bought it. You know, for someone (meaning myself) so new to Tolkien I'm a little surprised at how much I enjoy his books now.

Me neither! And I have already watched it three times. Of course, when the EE comes out, the theatrical version will be consigned to the shelf to gather dust.

I must say that I was VERY disappointed with the additional material. There was very little there that I had not seen already. I was hoping for more stuff on the making of RotK, but the documentaries just covered the making of the trilogy. And one of them just seemed to be a shorter version of the other. As for the other material, the "shorts" I found rather dull, and once you've seen the film, who wants to see the trailers and TV spots? All in all very poor, I thought.
